A STARRED REVIEW! My three-headed dragon book got a starred review in Booklist! www.booklistonline.com/products/982...

SFFH has directly shaped the reality in which we currently find ourselves. It has THAT kind of power. We should be funding the places and people who interrogate, examine, grow, and direct its use for our collective benefit and wrestle it back from the chucklefucks abusing it.

New blog post! Shameless self promotion, book recommendation, and shameless @jkasonetc.bsky.social promotion! lauraeprice.com/blog/ #booksky #art #writing

who is ready for some lesbian book recs for pride? 🧵

Not quite as many doodles in May, but spent much of the time working on the MerMay illustration, which is more complex than my usual nonsense. I’m in the middle of trying my hand at another ambitious / full illustration, as well, so I think the change up makes the slower pace expected.

Happy Pride (in the US!) All my books are gay Foxhunt and Wolfpack: a trans bard who (spoilers, I guess) has some kind of weird intense thing with the nonbinary assassin who comes after her books2read.com/vengefulwild1 #IndieAuthor #Booksky #QueerBooks #TransBooks #Solarpunk

The Intersex Jam on Itch is happening this year too! Very cool - itch.io/jam/an-inter...

FYI, I added my bearish, lionfish mermage to the options over on ye Redbubble: www.redbubble.com/people/fatga...

I know why it's this way, but it is infuriating that a corporation can nuke your social media presence for a bogus DMCA strike but GenAI companies got trillions off of stealing everybody's copyrighted work.

More #powerpack takes: like Alex’s wings, I’m an eternal fan of the fact Lightspeed’s flight trail isn’t a proper rainbow, but rather three colors out of chromatic order. I also like the later stylistic choice that gave the rainbow a ribbon-like quality. #marvelcomics #characterart #fanart

Imagine being a self-styled creative person who thinks the most orgasmic part of the creative process is just having a few vague ideas. 😬

“Show me what comic you loved when you were 13, and that’s all I need to know about you.” - Brad Meltzer This issue features a favorite moment of mine when Julie declares she’s sick of inertia (the physics concept), as it’s caused nothing but trouble all night.

Hairless cat is judging you.

Do we think anyone has created the definitive chart of the exact level of melty-gooey that makes for the perfect peanut butter toast? Or is such an ideal too subjective and ephemeral to track?

smiles are fucking hard to draw sometimes. I feel like I constantly have to re-practice how to, lol. and then I make them vampires 'couse i get bored~ #artsky #sketch #vampire

many will say FIYAH has done so much for Black SFF writers, and this is true what many won't understand is that FIYAH also did a lot for all of genre sending love to the folks who made this mag happen, from founders to the recent team, everyone in between, and all the contributors along the way

Took me a while to track down because I thought I had saved it and apparently did not, but this may also be a thing to consider under the banner of “please don’t learn the wrong lesson from this.” marcusolang.substack.com/p/im-kenyan-...

Bringing this back in an effort to swim against the current of Common Wisdom yet again learning the wrong thing from various discourse.
